RICHMOND, Va. – Already billed as one of the most highly anticipated college basketball games in the Commonwealth of Virginia in recent years, the Nov. 12 matchup between VCU and Virginia just took on even more excitement.

The Rams and Cavaliers will do battle in front of a national audience with ESPN2 televising the showdown. Game time in Charlottesville is set for 7 p.m. The contest will be a part of ESPN's 24-Hour Tip-Off Marathon.
